Towards a Unified Model of Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions

Abstract

The achievement of the goals of the ongoing and future accelerator-based neutrino experiments - notably the determination of CP violating phase in the lepton sector - will require the development of advanced models of neutrino-nucleus interactions. In this review, we summarise the present status of experimental studies of neutrino-nucleus scattering, and discuss the developments and perspectives of the theoretical approach based on factorisation of the nuclear cross section, which has recently emerged as a promising framework for the description of the variety of processes contributing to the detected signals.
